Firefox does natively support creating text fragment links with a hidden configuration tweak.
First, type about:config in the address bar, followed by the enter key and continue at the warning prompt. Then search for fragments and tweak the following settings:

  1. Set dom.text_fragments.create_text_fragment.enabled to true by double clicking on it.
  2. The following of text fragment links can be enabled (as is default?) by setting
    dom.text_fragments.enabled to true by double-clicking on it.
  3. There is also a related timeout value, the function of which seems undocumented: dom.text_fragments.create_text_fragment.timeout_seconds (default value 5).
